Description of first aid measures After Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. Call a physician. After skin contact In case of skin contact, wash with soap and flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. After eye contact In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician. After Ingestion If swallowed, wash out mouth with water. Call a physician. 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2.2) and/or in section 11. 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed 5. Fire fighting 5.1. Extinguishing media Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. In case of small fire, use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. For large fires apply water from as safe a distance as possible. Use very large quantities or spraying water opposed to a solid stream. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance of mixture Hazardous combustion products Carbon oxides Material Safety Data Sheet for C70 Revision date: 16/07/2015 Page 2 of 7
5.3. Advice for firefighters As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases and vapours may be generated by thermal decomposition. 6. Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing in vapours, mist, gas or dust. Ensure room is well ventilated. Remove all sources of ignition. 6.2. Environmental precautions Do not let product enter drains. 6.3. Containment and cleaning: Contain and clean up spill if safe to do so, without raising dust. Dispose of dry waste in closed container for proper disposal according to local regulations. 7. Handling and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid formation of dust or vapour. Keep away from sources of ignition and avoid the build of electrostatic charge. Provide exhaust ventilation in places where dust is formed. In case of an accident or if you are feeling unwell, immediately seek medical advice. 7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place inside of a tightly sealed container. 7.3. Specific end uses Use in laboratories. 8. Exposure controls / Personal protection 8.1. Control parameters Exposure limit sources UK EH40 Workplace Exposure Limits (WEL) for use with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations. Components with workplace control parameters Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

8.2. Exposure controls Engineering measures Handle in accordance with good industrial practices for hygiene and safety. Ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the laboratory workstation. Personal protective equipment Eyes: Wear safety glasses with side-shields conforming to appropriate government standards such as NOISH (US) or EN166 (EU). Skin: Handle with appropriate gloves and use proper glove removal technique to avoid skin contact. Dispose of gloves in accordance with applicable laws. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Clothing: Wear complete suit protecting against chemicals; the type of equipment should be appropriate for the concentration and amount of dangerous substance used. Respirators: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA s 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator s use. General hygiene measures Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. 9. Physical and chemical properties 9.1.
